Shop Simon: Tips On Styling A Look For $300

The Westchester, a Simon Mall, has always been my one stop shop. It also holds a special place in my life. Growing up in Westchester it was one of the first places my friends and I were allowed to roam free, unchaperoned, for a few hours. It’s also where, at thirteen years old, I purchased my first Coach bag, all on my own. It’s where I found inspiration to style outfits for work. I realize it’s just a place, so don’t think I’m some vain, trivial, brat because I’m not. I mean I also used to hang out at train…

All I Ever Wanted Was Everything – Twenty seven

All I Ever Wanted Was Everything – Twenty seven

Hello, twenty-seven… If I wrote this post when I planned to (last weekend) it would have been exceptionally different. Crazy what a day makes, huh? Did I keep my promises to myself and others?  How much did I grow personally and professionally?  Is this where I want to be? Is this where I thought I’d be?  Have I challenged myself enough? I didn’t think I’d still be so confused about my “purpose” at twenty-seven. I’ve always said I have this gut feeling I’m meant to do something grand. To help by inspiring others, to lead and motivate. It would be…

Yosi Samra And The Reality Of NYFW

Yosi Samra And The Reality Of NYFW

Want to know what NYFW is really like? It’s a hustle. You run from show to show, trying your best to get there. They ask you arrive thirty minutes early. On a lucky day in New York you’re on time. Uptown, downtown, East Village, Chelsea Piers, One World Trade, hotels, parks, in the street… shows and presentations can be anywhere in the city. The creativity that goes into these shows is endless, which includes the location. New York City is only thirteen miles long and two miles wide, and about 90% of the time, walking to your next appointment is…

Fitness Edition – Reevaluating Goals and Resolutions

Fitness Edition – Reevaluating Goals and Resolutions

Outfit + Sneakers: c/o ProPlayer As Fall rolls in, it’s a great time to reevaluate any goals and/or resolutions you may have put in place at the beginning of the year. Check out mine here. It’s also a good time for a fresh start if you’re looking for an excuse to start something new. Or to form a new habit [post on this here]. For me, it’s a new goal, fitness. I swear I try to work out as often as possible. But working out can be exhausting for me, it always has been. Commuting to the city takes up…

Creating New Habits – I’m Back And Better Than Ever

Creating New Habits – I’m Back And Better Than Ever

Wow, what a week off will do for you. Since I started my blog over three years ago I’ve been strict with posting on Instagram and my site. Monday, Wednesday and Friday’s [like clockwork] have mostly been my normal post dates until recently. Aiming to change it up a bit I’ve gone off this schedule and have been trying to listen to you, my readers, more. But still, I rarely miss a week. Giving out advice on fashion and life can sometimes put you into interesting situations. As much as I wanted to go, go, go last week, I decided…
